Carving knife is awarded Gold at the KÜCHE Award
2015

Friedr. Dick is reviving an old
tried-and-tested butcher's knife design and enhancing its popular and
successful 1905 series with a curved blade carving knife – awarded a "gold" medal at the KÜCHE Award
2015.

This special style of blade
has already been used in kitchens and butcher's shops since the end of the 19th
century. The curved blade design makes the cutting edge longer than when using a
straight knife easily achieving a long drawn cut. Friedr.
Dick has now taken this style of knife and enhanced its 1905 design series with
this unique product offering. The 1905 Series continues to
stand out with its exceptional design. Friedr. Dick developed the chef's knife
series with solid bolsters in 1905, replacing the traditional riveted handle
that had been previously used up until then. Today the 1905 Series combines a
classic design with modern technology. Its exceptional appearance meets today's
demanding hygiene standards as well as its premium quality and functionality is
all of the utmost importance for the end-user. The
renowned KÜCHE magazine asks chefs about their favourite products each year.
The carving knife from the 1905 series was voted into first place in the
"Kitchen Accessories" category and therefore won the gold medal.
